A researcher at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) and physician-scientist colleagues from Hackensack Meridian Health have shown how a critical pathway is fundamental to the immune system.
Researchers at the University of Calgary studying a lethal lung disease called pulmonary fibrosis have found that neurons known to help detect pain are also critical for reducing harmful lung inflammation that leads to the disease.
Scientists have uncovered how lymphatic vessels—the kidney’s “plumbing system”—undergo dramatic changes during chronic transplant rejection, becoming structurally disorganized and spreading to unusual parts of the kidney.
Some of our biggest threats can come in the tiniest forms—viruses and bacteria. Thankfully, we are born with a built-in defense system, our innate immune system that protects us in our youth but can turn against us as we age. New research from the Stow…
It starts with a sneeze. Someone on the subway didn’t cover their mouth and now a cloud of invisible invaders hangs in the air. Before you even step off the train, your immune system has already begun fighting off the threat and protecting you from harm.

Fall is in the air. Chicago evenings have a crisp breeze. But something has been bugging Annie Andrews.
A team of University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers have identified a pathway to help the human body defend itself against sepsis—a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s inappropriate response to an infection.
A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has turned what we know about T-cells, one of the most important parts of the body’s immune system, on its head, opening the door to next-generation cancer vaccines.
Back-to-school is an exciting time for kids and parents, but it also marks the beginning of fall allergies as well as the cold and flu season.
